NYC weekend

This past weekend Mr. P and I ran up to northern NJ to see his brother for his birthday. Any visit there isn't complete without popping into the The City. Oh yes! *excited dance* With six hours to kill before our dinner reservation, the below freezing and windy weather didn't slow us down one bit.


Sight-seeing from the High Line doubled as our diversionary route between destinations: Eataly and the Chelsea Market. It's a much better way to walk the city! No waiting at lights and a lot less people, all like-minded cold weather wanderers.

Fantastic architecture: IAC Building

Even though I got out of town and away from wedding planning, I couldn't escape wedding brain. It followed me into Anthropologie!

Now that's a train!
Window inside Chelsea Market (another train, really?!)
Liking this as an idea for garlands! Cheap and colorful!!
Remember these from the champagne glasses post?
Suh-weetness. Calling all ladies with a bird theme!
Numbed from the cold, we warmed up with drinks...

Free wine tasting? I'm in! (swishing)
We found a bar with a fireplace. And parked it.
Wait, wasn't I just drinking wine?
The girls: girlfriend A, FMIL & me
Getting goofy at Tia Pol
Hey, the camera wants your attention.
Yes, m'dear?
How do you spend your wedding-free weekends? Do thoughts of the wedding sneak in anyway??
